I hope Tenkaichi 4 has a good what if story or something with good animations, at this point I'm so sure there is nothing animated coming for DB that the only smich of hope I have left is to watch the potential new video game cutscenes.
I wish… but don’t count on that. Dragon Ball games are generally not that good all around, with FighterZ being exception.
And they are usually adapting the franchise faithfully to the death. Those what if’s in BT3 were fun, but I keep my expectations low.

Well, a month has passed since Goku's day and there has been no news.
I notice everything related to the web series very strange. Ajay announced in September that a web series was going to be produced and shortly after confirmed that production had started in October. Web series usually have 12 episodes normally. The series has been in production for 7 months, so if it has 12 episodes it should be almost finished. How is it possible that nothing has been announced?
Toei instead with other productions like Digimon 02 movie, Kinnukuman new series recently, Sailor Moon movies, Kitaro Netflix series have been announced before even starting production. And with 7 months of production of Dragon Ball for a web series that shouldn't have many episodes, don't they announce anything? It's too strange.
There's nothing strange. Its just people looking for clout and that's why we only get cryptic messages from "leakers" for DB. This franchise just doesn't have any good leaker for anime content. Unfortunately that's the truth. And the ones who act like they know more than the rest just end up failing miserably.
Just saw Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and GOD, the way Sony/Marvel are handling Spider-Man franchise is levels above of what Shueisha/Toei are doing with Dragon Ball. This gap would only make difference if DB was a small franchise and didn't make money, which is far from the truth.
We are still getting home releases with green tint... It's actually shocking how this franchise is being treated.
I don't know what to expect for the 40th anniversary. i just know if they don't care they should just sell the rights to other company at this point. I'm sure Sony and/or Disney would come forth.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I'll be blunt, why are people still demanding a return of the anime? For a show as divisive as Super, it garners a ton of talk within the community of the show possibly coming back. I'd honestly expected more apathy regarding this topic.
It just seems like something that is destined to disappoint fans. I mean, people have complained about character assassinations, half baked story, inconsistent animation, no matter how much they like certain aspects of the show, I have a gut feeling it'd probably from square one. Not in a remake sort of sense, more so they'll have the same issues we had in the beginning.
Perhaps I'm being too cynical on this prediction. After all, we don't even know so much as a word from a producer, let alone a press release from the committee itself. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if Super is coming back, we shouldn't be surprised if it falls below our expectation

I mean, I'd rather Toei create more original anime1 rather than spend resources on these bullshit long-running shounen series like Dragon Ball and One Piece but at the very least it would be nice to see more of the production staff's take on Caulifla, Kale, Ribrianne and other characters. A good television series can be salvaged from that underfed, rushed production.
1I'm quite happy to hear that PreCure is getting two sequel series later in the year! I'm just afraid that they won't have any staff because they keep feeding staff to a fucking 1,000 episode long series.

I'll be blunt. I'm a 40 year old who's still got the excited fanboy in him despite the ups and downs of the animated products of Dragon Ball. And I've held off reading the Manga to watch it animated without knowing the story.
The mass casual audiences for Dragon Ball Super loved it and that's why there's demand for it.
It's only those you'd find around here on message boards who are going to take it seriously enough to complain about character assassinations and other business.

My thoughs exactly. It's true that DBS had its fair share of criticisms regarding its art, animation, and storytelling throughout many episodes, and it only seemed to improve towards the middle and end. It's puzzling why there is still such a demand for the return of the anime, considering its divisive nature and the potential for disappointment.
Also, it can be challenging for some fans to grasp that the current approach taken by Toei, with producing movies every 3 or 4 years, ensures a higher chance of maintaining decent quality and avoiding a dragged-out storyline. Perhaps people's excitement and nostalgia for the franchise overshadow the potential pitfalls of bringing back Super as a series.
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

I think people want the show back mainly because there's always rumors of its return. The fact that the manga's still going as well with new storylines is also probably another big thing. I think if Toei turned Super into a seasonal anime with like 13-26 episodes depending on how much story they have to cover, I think that'd be great for their budget, time, & workforce It'd also allow their writers time to properly adapt Toriyama's outlines into good scripts for episodes & storyboards for the animators to follow. 1 of the biggest problems with Super's production was the production being so badly scheduled early on, so I think with proper time & budget, they could give us really good stuff.
The epic tale of how Sean Schemmel blocked me on Twitter:
I tagged him in a thread explaining how his performance wasn't rerecorded when FUNi were redoing parts of the early Z dub for the Orange Bricks.
He thought I was misrepresenting his work by saying he wasn't in something he was in.
I explained how that wasn't the situation & did a bit of a sarcastic kinda thing involving the rerecordings FUNi did for the Z dub to show how stupid that was.
He said they didn't record him & not use his recordings.
Blocked & he deleted his response tweets to me.
???
Profit...?

No. I want it back because I wanna see the story unfold I know barely anything of the story after the tournament of power. Plus it'd be interesting to get something different with if the rumored web series is anything as rumored.

Don't know if the web anime that is supposed to come out soon is true or not, but Piccolo voice actor posted this:
The way it's phrased seems like it's a new project. Could be for Dragon Ball. Could be something else.
I'm not hoping for anything at this point...
I would not be surprised if its Sand Land just to troll DB fans a third time...
If it was for Dragon Ball, he wouldn't have said anything. Unless he was a troll deliberately throwing oil on the fire.

Care to share a screen shot? They blocked me because I called them out earlier.
"Crunchyroll has worldwide rights to the Dragon Ball Web Anime. (A few other platforms have co-shared rights with Crunchyroll, more information to come)
Between 10 and 15 episodes are planned.
The Anime has been in production since summer 2022, and with each passing month, production has progressed to a higher level.
We don't have any concrete information about the story, so we'll let you know as soon as possible."
